“The only person that I trust to flip over tables in the temple is Christ.” and “As soon as we lose charity, we’re on the wrong side even if we’re saying the right things.” Holy moly so many Christians need to remember this.
@@maryduggins Only it’s just as wrong and evil to ver to the left as to the right. That’s what the Bible says. Too much or inappropriate giving or “charity” is just as pathological toxic as too much anger or punishment. “if they will not work then neither should they eat” That is the New Testament. Plus don’t put young widows on constant charity because it will lead them to not remarry and lead them into sin. That is what is the epicenter of inner cities violence, crime, even school shootings is fatherless households which were a result of policies paying young mothers not to marry and instead be put of perpetual “charity” regardless of how horrible their behavior is. So then do you only trust Christ to be charitable?? Obviously a lot of people are pathologically inclined to be enablers of evil and coddle it.
I had the privilege of learning from Professor Pearce at my Alma Mater (Thomas More College) and his eloquence blew me away. He is so kind, genuine, and knowledgeable about Belloc, Solzhenitsyn, and Shakespeare! My college awarded him an honorary doctorate and so, to me, he will always be: Dr. Joseph Pearce. Much love to you, Dr. Pearce! :)
It’s heartbreaking that The Fradd’s had to leave Ohio… They had built such a wonderful thing there… The cigar lounge, this set… We need to pray for the Fradd family, that they are guided by the Holy Spirit and find a way to re-accomodate their businesses in Florida if that’s what needs to happen. Steubenville won’t be the same without them… 🥰🙏💕💕💕💕💕
What an eclectic title. Also, a while ago I read a collection of poetry and found out that Mr. Pearce was the one who had compiled it. My favorite was probably Francis Thompson's "St. Monica". "At the Cross thy station keeping With the mournful Mother weeping, Thou unto the sinless Son, Weepest for they sinful one."
the bit where he said "a lot of traditionalists are actually progressives" was where i hit like. this guy gets it. most of the sspx-style """traditionalism""" really is just modernism and gnosticism in a golden chasuble
@@greyhoundmama2062 yeah so accepting everything up to Vatican II (SSPV) is no different really to accepting everything up to Trent (Protestants) or Nicaea (Arians). Every group that splits off at a major council thinks they're really in the right and the mainstream church is wrong. Similarly, it seems quite clear to me that uber progressives who think the Church should change its teachings on women being priests or the definition of marriage are using exactly the same hermeneutic as uber traditionalists who think that the Church should change its teachings on the death penalty, the style of the liturgy, or whether xyz variety of person can be baptised. It's the same train of thought: the Church in Rome and I disagree on something, therefore Rome should start teaching the thing *I* know is right. The truth is that catholicity is about submission of will to, and unity with, Rome, not about adherence to a set of beliefs you yourself are convinced of. Newman's comparison of Anglo-Catholics to Arians is quite apt here.
@@greyhoundmama2062Calling the Holy Father "Bergoglio" to undermine his authority and question his rightful position as head of Christ's church is the very division and heretical behavior denounced by early church fathers like St Irenaeus and St Cyprian "If someone does not hold fast to this unity of Peter, can he imagine that he still holds the faith? If he [should] desert the chair of Peter upon whom the Church was built, can he still be confident that he is in the Church?” (The Unity of the Catholic Church 4; 1st edition [A.D. 251]) "the successions of the bishops of the greatest and most ancient church known to all, founded and organized at Rome by the two most glorious apostles, Peter and Paul, that church which has the tradition and the faith which comes down to us after having been announced to men by the apostles.

What a lovely time. Joseph Pearce is one of my favorite people. I heard his testimony a few years back when I converted to Catholicism. Since then I have heard many of his talks. The LOTR segment was perfection! He challenges you to live a simpler life that transcends earthly pleasures into a desire for the true, beautiful and good found in Christ and the Church.
Beautiful part about special need children. I'm often scared if I behave and react correctly. It's very healing and inspiring to hear a happy parent with a long experience. Of course there are many hardships, but there is also a lot of joy and love to be had.

This was fabulous. I just ordered Hilaire Belloc's book after your suggestion. I was just in the Alps and struggling with the hike and this book seems a perfect fit of Catholicism and a journey. Plus, always wanted to read HB .
Thank you for that. Chesterton stands out as a nationalist, a Little-Englander, who was consistently anti-imperialist and who recognized the Nazi threat long before most of his peers. I appreciate him particularly as a champion if the Irish cause. I think the charges of antisemitism against him and Belloc are unjustified. There is no doubt at least that they spoke out early against that particularly noxious strain of antisemitism that was coming to the fore in Germany in the late 20s and early 30s.
When I was growing up in the middle of Illinois, I was able with some accuracy to place people from different parts of Illinois by their accents. Not for all locations, but Chicago suburbs, my own area, an area about 100 miles south, and a few others were recognizable as different. This was 40 to 50 years ago and I don’t know whether things have blurred.

Matt, could you please pray for the Republicans to help defend U.S. sovereignty regarding the United Nations Summit of the Future September 22-23, 2024. Thank you.
I’m not saying it was good for him to be a “white supremacist.” In fact, I’m glad he found peace in his life and left his old self behind him. However, he should not have been arrested for having a different viewpoint. That’s why it is so important for Americans to cherish the First Amendment. We are literally the last country with free speech in the world.
1:10:25 Regarding coming for blessing with hands crossed on the chest - I'm glad you see that you made an assumption there. Yeah, it's surely differently understood in different countries and cultures. In my region in Poland, adult people usually don't come for blessing during communion, although some parishes or orders (often considered modernist) try to introduce this to make them feel more included. Having arms crossed on the chest would seem more like a pious gesture and be connected with receiving communion on the tongue in most places. And when I attended Ukrainian Greek-Catholic liturgy, this gesture was a standard when receiving communion.
As an American, I think that the defining trait of our culture is its capacity to absorb from the people who come here. So while excessive immigration drowning out the local culture is possible in the abstract, the country as a whole is too big for that to be a real concern and the need for immigration to keep feeding and renewing the culture is too important. As for Britain, I accept in a vacuum the right of the British to protect their cultures. But I do think that their fathers forfeited a good deal of that present right through their building the Empire. You can't go out for centuries and break places all over the world for your own benefit and then retreat back to your homeland and act like you have no connection to these places.

Just finished Race With the Devil last night (after coming across a reference to a racist named "Joe Pearce" in a book about the history of ska/2tone music in England -- spoiler alert: 17 year old Joe was against it because of the black musicians working with white musicians). And here his is on Pints. I'm going to have to reread Race with the Devil, though. I think it will be better in Cockney.
Would like Pearce’s take on Rings of Power. Not a critical review but what its creation and persistence (ie despite rotten ratings) tells us of sin and pride. What does RoP say about its “creators” etc
Young trads who feel affinity for a liturgy they’ve never known, as well as the “mystery” of Latin which they cannot understand puzzles me. Also the “ad orientem” urge and exclusive reception of Communion on the tongue is a nostalgia for more “reverent” worship belies an ignorance of Church History. The most “traditional” form of worship is in the vernacular with reception of Our Lord in the Hand. Don’t take my word for it-read the Church Fathers!
Regarding the Communion issue: I've never had a priest refuse to give me Communion on the tongue, but I did have one give me and my wife a pretty dirty look as he administered it to us on the tongue. He didn't refuse, but he sure looked like he wanted to.
Our Father Lord God, the Holy King, Holy Mighty God Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen. Hail Mary, Full of Holy Grace, The Lord God is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, the Lord Jesus Christ. Holy Mary, Mother of Lord God, pray for us sinners, spread the effect of grace of Thy Flame of Holy Love over all of humanity, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. Honor and Glory be to the Holy Father, and to the Holy Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Holy Angels of Lord God, the Holy King my guardian dear, To whom Holy Lord God's holy love commits me here, Ever this day, be at my side, To light and guard, Rule and guide. Amen. St. Michael the Archangel, pray for us. Defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May Holy Lord God, the Holy King rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Holy Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of Holy Lord God, the Holy King thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. . O glorious prince St. Michael, the Archangel, chief and commander of the heavenly hosts, guardian of souls, vanquisher of rebel spirits, servant in the house of the Divine King and our admirable conductor, you who shine with excellence and superhuman virtue deliver us from all evil, who turn to you with confidence and enable us by your gracious protection to serve the Holy Lord God, the Holy King more and more faithfully every day. Amen. Act of Contrition O my Lord God, the Holy King I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins, because I dread the loss of heaven, and the pains of hell; but most of all because they offend Thee, my Lord God, the Holy King Who are all good and deserving of all my holy love. I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy holy grace, to confess my sins, to do penance, and to amend my life. Our Holy Lord and Savior Jesus Christ suffered and die for us in his name my Lord God, the Holy King have mercy. Amen. I believe in the Lord God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth; and in the Lord Jesus Christ, His only Holy Son Our Holy Lord God, Who was conceived by the Holy Lord God, the Holy Spirit, born of the Holy Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of the Lord God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Lord God, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the Holy Communion of Holy Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting. Amen.
Fair play about swearing. An auld fella I knew told me, with the authority of his age, that he didn’t like the way I kept using our Lord’s name in casual conversation (= the anointed). I thought it was cool at the time. On reflection, I think he was quite right to do so. I wouldn’t have taken it from someone my own age, all the same.
I've always found it so lovely to receive on the hand; to reach out for Christ is such a moving gesture to me. I don't understand the "irreverence" of it at all.
Everything else I eat, I eat with my hands (or with utensils manipulated by my hand). I think it’s more casual to be given something by having it placed in your hand. This is just my feeling of the thing, not any kind of a full argument.
@@fwenfwemer2145 I think that makes sense well enough; I don't know how much of a real argument there is to be made about this anyhow. I don't know of any theological significance to receiving in the hands or on the tongue, so to me it's whatever envelopes me the most fully in the liturgy.
I think a lot of the gestures, depending on the cultural context and local Church, are thrown into a one big bag of modernised, irreverend mass. And they are artificially opposed against "reverend latin mass", like if there was no middle ground, nothing good in new mass and no flaw in old mass. That's sad, because there are wonderful (and also flawed) aspects of all the versions of the rite, and with charity and openness we could reflect on them.
@@tomevans2499 one main argument, I believe, is that the traditional rite of baptism includes the imposition of [exercised] salt onto the tongue, and while the rite does not precisely indicate the purpose of this being for the reception of the Eucharist, there is a fittingness. Also Eastern rites, at least since they were formally defined, always received on the tongue (and many still do, exclusively). Reception into one’s hand also recalls the grasping for something that ought to be received freely as gift (a la Adam and Eve). For example, self-communication by a lay person is strictly prohibited for this reason.
@@tomevans2499 there are theological arguments made (bc they’ve been made, not commenting on their effectiveness), but agree on your last point. For me it’s aligning my body to my beliefs. This is Christ, fall on your knees.
Hey Matt do you sell any woke coffee or woke coffee mugs? haha that is a joke of course, however if you wanted to private label coffe and call it woke, that would be funny, anyway, thanks for what you do, you can have that idea, it was probably your anywaysss!!!!!
Most interesting section is how “mass immigration into England was a bad idea. The irony of a Brit and an Aussie who lives in America complain about immigration. After stealing land and removing the native people there. Or maybe the Catholic boarding schools are an example of why migration can be bad.
oh bla bla, what was interesting is how they obviously danced around the issue of him basically having the right/sound ideas with racial nationalism... ideas that hold logically, mostly
@mostreal907 So, because it was bad (as you and I both recognize) for those people to be displaced by people who lived and died way before our time, it's just and acceptable for it to happen to those people's ancestors? This Brit and Aussie had nothing to do with stealing land and removing the native people there. It's hypocritical to recognize the wrong of what happened to the Natives but turn around and say it's fine when it's applied to another group. It was/is acceptable in both scenarios or it wasn't/isn't (unless you believe that one groups genetics justified the behavior)
1:52:43 a quick petition to split the word "want" into two words: one signifying the way in which we desire things oriented toward our good, and another signifying the way in which we desire things that we know aren't. These are two different concepts; differentiating them would be useful.
It's called the Fatima prayer. It was added to the rosary after each decade at the request of the Virgin Mary when she appeared to Sister Lucia in Fatima, Portugal
If you meant the other prayer Matt said i think its the prayer of St Ephrem to the Holy Spirit: "O Lord, Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, have compassion and mercy on Thy sinful servant and pardon my unworthiness, and forgive me all the sins that I humanly committed today, and not only humanly but even worse than a beast - my voluntary sins, known and unknown, from my youth and from evil suggestions, and from my brazenness, and from boredom. If I have sworn by Thy Name or blasphemed it in thought, blamed or reproached anyone, or in my anger have detracted or slandered anyone, or grieved anyone, or if I have got angry about anything, or have told a lie, if I have slept unnecessarily, or if a beggar has come to me and I despised or neglected him, or if I have troubled my brother or quarrelled with him, or if I have condemned anyone, or have boasted, or have been proud, or lost my temper with anyone, or if when standing in prayer my mind has been distracted by the glamour of this world, or if I have had depraved thoughts or have overeaten, or have drunk excessively, or have laughed frivolously, or have thought evil, or have seen the attraction of someone and been wounded by it in my heart, or said indecent things, or made fun of my brother's sin when my own faults are countless, or been neglectful of prayer, or have done some other wrong that I cannot remember - for I have done all this and much more - have mercy, my Lord and Creator, on me Thy wretched and unworthy servant, and absolve and forgive and deliver me in Thy goodness and love for men, so that, lustful, sinful and wretched as I am, I may lie down and sleep and rest in peace. And I shall worship, praise and glorify Thy most honourable Name, with the Father and His only-begotten Son, now and ever, and for all ages. Amen."
I was lucky to go to a traditional Novus Ordo. So I don't have the same issue that many people do with it. Also as a father of 3 soon to he 4 young children 6 and under I appreciate not needing to use a book to translate.
I get that people love the Latin Mass - but I personally can’t stand it. I had 2 years of Latin and French in HS and just never had a facility with languages outside of English. I grew up with Novus Ordo and functioned as a devoted Liturgical musician for 40 years as one of those ‘dreaded folk guitar’ types. I believe we were very careful a prayerful in selecting season appropriate music from both traditional and contemporary song lists. We were pressured by a new pastor to do chant and Latin music that we simply were not capable nor desired to do properly. He eventually and without so much as a thank you forced us out of our parish of 20 years. The music there has been a dirge even in the joyful seasons ever since. I understand and agree with the necessity to uphold Liturgical integrity, to avoid the abuses that and the worst aspects of the 70’s & 80’s folk Mass movement. But - I do not understand or agree that unity requires uniformity and this open state of hostility between the two ‘factions’. Let those who love and find the TLM best to have it, and those who love a Novus Ordo ‘folk’ Mass have that. Why this drive to compell everyone to ‘do it my way’? I will never be comfortable with Latin and thus the TLM holds zero appeal to me. But holding to orthodoxy and orthopraxy of Catholic teaching - right on!!
Think about this: Hitler was an evil man who did evil things under the pretense of doing something good: reestablishing the HRE. To make things worse, for at least the majority of the time he was active, he pretended to be a Christian. He was able to get as far as what he did because he was extremely charismatic and actually was a pretty good leader, but his insistence on doing evil things got in the way of his success. Imagine, if you will, a world in which he actually WAS a Christian: he did not do the evil things, and he still became a leader and still sought to reestablish the HRE, but went about it the right way. Imagine the good he could have accomplished had he, himself, been good.
“The only person that I trust to flip over tables in the temple is Christ.” and “As soon as we lose charity, we’re on the wrong side even if we’re saying the right things.” Holy moly so many Christians need to remember this.

Just finished Race With the Devil last night (after coming across a reference to a racist named "Joe Pearce" in a book about the history of ska/2tone music in England -- spoiler alert: 17 year old Joe was against it because of the black musicians working with white musicians). And here his is on Pints.
I'm going to have to reread Race with the Devil, though. I think it will be better in Cockney.
Would like Pearce’s take on Rings of Power. Not a critical review but what its creation and persistence (ie despite rotten ratings) tells us of sin and pride. What does RoP say about its “creators” etc
I love the analogy of the fall of progressive church decisions to "death saving throws." I see you DnD fans, I see you.
Hope you take this studio or something very similar with you to Florida. And what about the Thursday dude, did you abandon him or take him with?
He needs abandoning, that Thursday guy sucks.
Young trads who feel affinity for a liturgy they’ve never known, as well as the “mystery” of Latin which they cannot understand puzzles me. Also the “ad orientem” urge and exclusive reception of Communion on the tongue is a nostalgia for more “reverent” worship belies an ignorance of Church History. The most “traditional” form of worship is in the vernacular with reception of Our Lord in the Hand. Don’t take my word for it-read the Church Fathers!
Rosary College! My parish is involved with them! First Catholic college of South Carolina.
I can’t listen to Pints because I spend too much money on the books that come up during the podcast!
Regarding the Communion issue: I've never had a priest refuse to give me Communion on the tongue, but I did have one give me and my wife a pretty dirty look as he administered it to us on the tongue. He didn't refuse, but he sure looked like he wanted to.

On the topic of christ's redemption through salvation
Our Father Lord God, the Holy King, Holy Mighty God Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done,
on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Hail Mary,
Full of Holy Grace,
The Lord God is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Holy Mary, Mother of Lord God, pray for us sinners,
spread the effect of grace of Thy Flame of Holy Love over all of humanity,
now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Honor and Glory be to the Holy Father,
and to the Holy Son,
and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning,
is now,
and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
Holy Angels of Lord God, the Holy King
my guardian dear,
To whom Holy Lord God's holy love
commits me here,
Ever this day,
be at my side,
To light and guard,
Rule and guide.
Amen.
St. Michael the Archangel, pray for us.
Defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May Holy Lord God, the Holy King rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Holy Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of Holy Lord God, the Holy King
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen. .
O glorious prince St. Michael, the Archangel,
chief and commander of the heavenly hosts,
guardian of souls, vanquisher of rebel spirits,
servant in the house of the Divine King
and our admirable conductor,
you who shine with excellence
and superhuman virtue deliver us from all evil,
who turn to you with confidence
and enable us by your gracious protection
to serve the Holy Lord God, the Holy King more and more faithfully every day. Amen.
Act of Contrition
O my Lord God, the Holy King
I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee,
and I detest all my sins,
because I dread the loss of heaven, and the pains of hell;
but most of all because they offend Thee, my Lord God, the Holy King
Who are all good and deserving of all my holy love.
I firmly resolve, with the help of Thy holy grace,
to confess my sins, to do penance,
and to amend my life. Our Holy Lord and Savior Jesus Christ suffered and die for us in his name my Lord God, the Holy King have mercy.
Amen.
I believe in the Lord God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and earth;
and in the Lord Jesus Christ, His only Holy Son Our Holy Lord God,
Who was conceived by the Holy Lord God, the Holy Spirit, born of the Holy Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into Hell; the third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into Heaven, and sitteth at the right hand of the Lord God, the Father almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Lord God, the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the Holy Communion of Holy Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and life everlasting.
Amen.
I miss Matt’s beard
Fair play about swearing. An auld fella I knew told me, with the authority of his age, that he didn’t like the way I kept using our Lord’s name in casual conversation (= the anointed). I thought it was cool at the time. On reflection, I think he was quite right to do so. I wouldn’t have taken it from someone my own age, all the same.
Can anyone tell me the prayer from Saint Ephrem the Syrian that he mentioned at 1:38:35
Highway 61 revisited
Please comment on Pope’s statements that all religions lead to God.
Here’s my statement: all paths do not lead to God. Christ is the only name under heaven by which men can be saved.
@@PintsWithAquinas Saved from what?
Saved from the alternative.
@@mattmaes wym
Matt wants a cop out to allow him to keep swearing so bad
Proceeds to read one of the most cliché William Carlos Williams😂
Neat
I've always found it so lovely to receive on the hand; to reach out for Christ is such a moving gesture to me. I don't understand the "irreverence" of it at all.
Everything else I eat, I eat with my hands (or with utensils manipulated by my hand). I think it’s more casual to be given something by having it placed in your hand. This is just my feeling of the thing, not any kind of a full argument.
@@fwenfwemer2145 I think that makes sense well enough; I don't know how much of a real argument there is to be made about this anyhow. I don't know of any theological significance to receiving in the hands or on the tongue, so to me it's whatever envelopes me the most fully in the liturgy.
I think a lot of the gestures, depending on the cultural context and local Church, are thrown into a one big bag of modernised, irreverend mass. And they are artificially opposed against "reverend latin mass", like if there was no middle ground, nothing good in new mass and no flaw in old mass. That's sad, because there are wonderful (and also flawed) aspects of all the versions of the rite, and with charity and openness we could reflect on them.
@@tomevans2499 one main argument, I believe, is that the traditional rite of baptism includes the imposition of [exercised] salt onto the tongue, and while the rite does not precisely indicate the purpose of this being for the reception of the Eucharist, there is a fittingness. Also Eastern rites, at least since they were formally defined, always received on the tongue (and many still do, exclusively). Reception into one’s hand also recalls the grasping for something that ought to be received freely as gift (a la Adam and Eve). For example, self-communication by a lay person is strictly prohibited for this reason.
@@tomevans2499 there are theological arguments made (bc they’ve been made, not commenting on their effectiveness), but agree on your last point. For me it’s aligning my body to my beliefs. This is Christ, fall on your knees.
Lovely
✨🙏🏼✨
Hey Matt do you sell any woke coffee or woke coffee mugs? haha that is a joke of course, however if you wanted to private label coffe and call it woke, that would be funny, anyway, thanks for what you do, you can have that idea, it was probably your anywaysss!!!!!
Most interesting section is how “mass immigration into England was a bad idea. The irony of a Brit and an Aussie who lives in America complain about immigration. After stealing land and removing the native people there. Or maybe the Catholic boarding schools are an example of why migration can be bad.
oh bla bla, what was interesting is how they obviously danced around the issue of him basically having the right/sound ideas with racial nationalism... ideas that hold logically, mostly
@@elpl857I’m still unsure how exactly ethno-nationalism isn’t compatible with Catholicism? To me it seems the most natural/cohesive way to live.
@@Russ1875It makes since for Catholics. Christianity no. The Bible doesn’t call for an ethnic national state. The Roman Catholic church does.
@@elpl857explain how it makes sense.
@mostreal907 So, because it was bad (as you and I both recognize) for those people to be displaced by people who lived and died way before our time, it's just and acceptable for it to happen to those people's ancestors? This Brit and Aussie had nothing to do with stealing land and removing the native people there. It's hypocritical to recognize the wrong of what happened to the Natives but turn around and say it's fine when it's applied to another group. It was/is acceptable in both scenarios or it wasn't/isn't (unless you believe that one groups genetics justified the behavior)
1:52:43 a quick petition to split the word "want" into two words: one signifying the way in which we desire things oriented toward our good, and another signifying the way in which we desire things that we know aren't. These are two different concepts; differentiating them would be useful.
What's the name of the prayer at 1:37:35
It's called the Fatima prayer. It was added to the rosary after each decade at the request of the Virgin Mary when she appeared to Sister Lucia in Fatima, Portugal
If you meant the other prayer Matt said i think its the prayer of St Ephrem to the Holy Spirit:
"O Lord, Heavenly King, Comforter, Spirit of Truth, have compassion and mercy on Thy sinful servant and pardon my unworthiness, and forgive me all the sins that I humanly committed today, and not only humanly but even worse than a beast - my voluntary sins, known and unknown, from my youth and from evil suggestions, and from my brazenness, and from boredom. If I have sworn by Thy Name or blasphemed it in thought, blamed or reproached anyone, or in my anger have detracted or slandered anyone, or grieved anyone, or if I have got angry about anything, or have told a lie, if I have slept unnecessarily, or if a beggar has come to me and I despised or neglected him, or if I have troubled my brother or quarrelled with him, or if I have condemned anyone, or have boasted, or have been proud, or lost my temper with anyone, or if when standing in prayer my mind has been distracted by the glamour of this world, or if I have had depraved thoughts or have overeaten, or have drunk excessively, or have laughed frivolously, or have thought evil, or have seen the attraction of someone and been wounded by it in my heart, or said indecent things, or made fun of my brother's sin when my own faults are countless, or been neglectful of prayer, or have done some other wrong that I cannot remember - for I have done all this and much more - have mercy, my Lord and Creator, on me Thy wretched and unworthy servant, and absolve and forgive and deliver me in Thy goodness and love for men, so that, lustful, sinful and wretched as I am, I may lie down and sleep and rest in peace. And I shall worship, praise and glorify Thy most honourable Name, with the Father and His only-begotten Son, now and ever, and for all ages. Amen."
Bishop Barron's ears perk up! 2:13:25
Love Joseph Pearce!
He’s my favorite guest. Has a great quote for a lot of his thoughts and speaks so clearly
It makes you super cool that you name dropped Elizabeth Anscombe.
I was lucky to go to a traditional Novus Ordo. So I don't have the same issue that many people do with it. Also as a father of 3 soon to he 4 young children 6 and under I appreciate not needing to use a book to translate.
Novus Ordo played a big part in converting Africa
Wow was not expecting a seemingly legit discussion about ethnonationalism on PWA😂
Very encouraging. Great to hear we need not fear. The Holy Spirit is working it out. I needed that reminder.
Joseph Pearce is wonderful! He was my professor in college and I loved his classes!
I get that people love the Latin Mass - but I personally can’t stand it. I had 2 years of Latin and French in HS and just never had a facility with languages outside of English. I grew up with Novus Ordo and functioned as a devoted Liturgical musician for 40 years as one of those ‘dreaded folk guitar’ types. I believe we were very careful a prayerful in selecting season appropriate music from both traditional and contemporary song lists. We were pressured by a new pastor to do chant and Latin music that we simply were not capable nor desired to do properly. He eventually and without so much as a thank you forced us out of our parish of 20 years. The music there has been a dirge even in the joyful seasons ever since. I understand and agree with the necessity to uphold Liturgical integrity, to avoid the abuses that and the worst aspects of the 70’s & 80’s folk Mass movement. But - I do not understand or agree that unity requires uniformity and this open state of hostility between the two ‘factions’. Let those who love and find the TLM best to have it, and those who love a Novus Ordo ‘folk’ Mass have that. Why this drive to compell everyone to ‘do it my way’? I will never be comfortable with Latin and thus the TLM holds zero appeal to me. But holding to orthodoxy and orthopraxy of Catholic teaching - right on!!
Oh - LOVE Joseph Pearce btw. Huge Tolkien, Lewis, Chesterton etc fan.
Fantastic interview. Thank you.
I love that I came to this conversation curious about his white supremacy background, but I’m leaving it fired up about Belloc and poetry.
This guy is referring to Douglas Murray’s research as cherry picking. Not the case.
Think about this: Hitler was an evil man who did evil things under the pretense of doing something good: reestablishing the HRE. To make things worse, for at least the majority of the time he was active, he pretended to be a Christian. He was able to get as far as what he did because he was extremely charismatic and actually was a pretty good leader, but his insistence on doing evil things got in the way of his success. Imagine, if you will, a world in which he actually WAS a Christian: he did not do the evil things, and he still became a leader and still sought to reestablish the HRE, but went about it the right way. Imagine the good he could have accomplished had he, himself, been good.
I highly recommend to everyone, Pearce's 2022 book:
"Faith of Our Fathers: A History of True England"
